History TearJerker / IDontRunAnOrphanage

* Kakei, Amai's classmate, used to have plenty of friends until her Quirk developed into having a [[NonHumanHead goat head]], causing them to turn away from her. Since then, she swore to NeverBeHurtAgain by acting tough at her new school, only for her to go overboard by constant bullying, turning her into TheFriendNobodyLikes at her new school so bad that her classmates (sans Amai) choose her as a sacrifice.

-->'''Ken:''' Yeah, I was jealous. How could I not be? You were always so much...better than me. Or at least everyone always seemed to think that. You were smarter than me and more popular than me, and [[TheUnFavourite whenever something went wrong, it was never your fault. Always mine. They'd always accuse me!]] And I...I know it's not your fault. I know that. But I just kept feeling this...this anger bubbles up for you, that you didn't deserve. And I always knew you didn't deserve it, and that just made me even angrier!

* Sai had a BrokenPedestal toward the H.P.S.C, who helped her train to become a Pro-Hero after they disrespect her closest teammate, Berserker, after she was [[MercyKill forced to kill him]] after being controlled by their turncoat teammate, Caster, despite all of his good deed and record as a Pro-Hero, and prevent her from investigating Caster's betrayal further, causing her to quit the life of Pro-Hero altogether.

-->'''Fukunoko:''' I...I want Eri and Kei to be my sisters. I mean, they might already think of me as their sister, I think they've called me that a few times but…I want it to be official. But for that, I need you to be my…to be my dad. But I…I just can't think of you as my father! [...] A-And I don't know why!''*Tearing up*'' I like you! You are a really good person who's done so, so much for me and the people I care about. You've given me everything I ever wanted, and things I didn't even know I wanted! And you even worked yourself to the point of getting sick, just for us! But whenever I try to think of you as my father I feel…I feel sick! I feel like I want to throw up and I don't know why!? What's wrong with me!? ''*cries*'' I'm sorry... I thought that maybe if we spent more time together, then I'd be able to think of you as my father no problem but…I still feel gross when I try to think of you that way. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry I don't know why I feel like this!

--> '''Izuku:''' I asked, "What is the definition of a father to you"? If you were to guess, what would be the dictionary definition of the word father?\\

'''Fukunoko:''' ''*Closes her eyes as she thinks, then wincing by reflex from the memory*''
'''Izuku:''' ...You keep thinking of him, don't you.\

-->'''Izuku:'' I despise the thought of killing. And if it was up to me, I would never, ever take a life. But, as a father and caretaker, my children must always come first. While I would never go to it as a first resort, I have to acknowledge that there are some opponents that are simply unable to be contained or captured. Therefore, I need the people charged with protecting this place, to be able to do the same.

** Jiro asked if wearing [[BlackCloak Aegis Robe]] may bring the wrong kind of assumption about the Midoriya Foundation. Izuku told her he would put its hood off.
---> '''Izuku:''' To be fair, people are more likely to judge me for being [[UnSorcerer quirkless]] than they are for wearing this.

'''Kioku:''' It's not your fault daddy you've been busy!\\

--->'''Kioku:''' But-but I should be fine now. ''*Sobs*'' I have a daddy that loves me a whole lot! And I have sisters and brothers and they love me too! A-And I play with them, and I have fun! I'm happy! But…when I see…when I see people being all happy, and families being happy and loving each other I feel…I feel like how I used to. I feel angry and-and sad and-and jealous! But why do I feel jealous? I have what they have now. Why do I still feel like that? Why do I still want people to be bad, so I don't feel like that? I know it's not good. I-I should stop feeling like that. Like Eri and Kei. They're not like this. They don't get angry and sad, or jealous. They don't hate people. S-So why am I like this? ''*Looking up to Mina, puffy red eyes*'' I-Is there something wrong with me? Is that why Mommy and Daddy didn't love me?

'''Mina:''' ''*Deep breath*'' I'm sorry Kioku, there isn't a reason. It's just…bad luck.

* Mina tries to console the crying Kioku, thinking that her breakdown was based on how uncomfortable she is with strangers, and telling her that not all people are as horrible as her birth parents, only for the little girl to reveal that she's already AWARE of that, but the fact that there are nice people in the world made her question why she's the one with neglectful parents...

-->'''Kioku:''' But-but I should be fine now. ''*Sobs*'' I have a daddy that loves me a whole lot! And I have sisters and brothers and they love me too! A-And I play with them, and I have fun! I'm happy! But…when I see…when I see people being all happy, and families being happy and loving each other I feel…I feel like how I used to. I feel angry and-and sad and-and jealous! But why do I feel jealous? I have what they have now. Why do I still feel like that? Why do I still want people to be bad, so I don't feel like that? I know it's not good. I-I should stop feeling like that. Like Eri and Kei. They're not like this. They don't get angry and sad, or jealous. They don't hate people. S-So why am I like this? ''*Looking up to Mina, puffy red eyes*'' I-Is there something wrong with me? Is that why Mommy and Daddy didn't love me?

-->'''Mina:''' Sometimes…sometimes bad things just happen. And it's not about what you did. You were just born into a bad family.\\

-->'''Izuku:''' It's ok to not be able to let things go right away, it's ok to be upset that bad things happened to you. It's ok to be hurt. And I'm sorry if I haven't exactly been leading by example. And I haven't provided you all the help you needed. And I'm so so sorry that you had to suffer because of it.\\

* Kiba asks Todoroki to show her how much the reparation bill cost before Izuku got sick, with the hero-in-training [[DramaticIrony unaware]] that she wanted to validate her [[ItsAllMyFault guilt]] for causing Izuku to collapse.

'''Kioku:''' Close. The number 1 priority of a father is to make sure his family is safe. And yet, I sent my daughter to fight a potential assassin. In pretty much every situation, that is unacceptable. The only reason I even considered it was because I looked at her fighting all the Grimm, and figured she didn't have any way of actually hurting Sansan. And I was right. But in the very slim chance I was wrong about that, then I would have sent my daughter directly into harm's way. And that thought makes me feel ill.

* While he initially thinks, back when Sori trespasses the woods, to [[TakeMeInstead offer himself to Sori if it means the kids won't be harmed]], Izuku stopped when he realizes that if he dies now, The Midoriya Foundation will fall apart, not to mention how his death will be affecting the kids.

* While he initially thinks, back when Sori trespasses the woods, to [[TakeMeInstead offer himself to Sori if it means the kids won't be harmed]], he stopped when he realizes that if he dies now, The Midoriya Foundation will fall apart, not to mention how his death will be affecting the kids.

** While the chat has fewer Quirk discriminatory comments from Fu banning them, he did notice the drop in the number of the stream's viewers after [[SpiderPeople Shiruku]] appeared on camera.

** When Izuku tries to [[RefusalOfTheCall convince Namae that there must be someone else that could adopt such lovely children]], the O.P.C.C.C agent [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness immediately stopped her plea]] and explains that its hard to raise a kid these days, let alone a UnstablePoweredChild where the risk of injury and even death is possible to the caretaker, the children themselves, or the surroundings. If not for her DeadpanSnarker tone, one would think that her [[StepfordSmiler mask]] was slipped there.

* When The interviewer says that she finds the process of adopting OPC out of Midoriya Foundation convoluted, Izuku reiterates that these children have dangerous Quirk that can accidentally harm or even kill others and that there have been people that use [=OPCs=] for their own gain, or to adopt them solely for the hefty sums of money provided to raise them.

* Kiba started developing AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength-based paranoia, but she forces herself for Izuku's sake, because if [[NervousWreck Fukunoko]] can live like this, then she could.

** The background of Sansan, the SlimeGirl. Her [[AcidAttack Quirk]] kills her mother while she was still in her womb, causing her father to angrily drops her to her relatives, but none of them can take care of her, until one of them had enough and [[AndIMustScream put her in a jar and dump her at Dagobah Beach]] a year ago, giving her Claustrophobia.
** The O.P.C.C.C contract keeps repeating that Izuku cannot back out of any agreements or stop accepting children. Before he signed it, Izuku recollects what has he learned from researching O.P.C.C.C. Due to them being IncompetenceInc, their Division is small, making them lack the necessary resources to track down OPC and take care of them more than locking them in ExtranormalPrison, and a noticeable number of them [[ThenLetMeBeEvil turned villains]]. To the organization, Izuku is their last hope.

** As they pack kinds of stuff before moving out in a few weeks, Fu founds Izuku's old Quirk Analysis notebooks. but the note slowly becomes less coherent and full of messy scribbles before it ends with:

* '''Something Afoot'''

* '''Shorts 3'''

* '''Caught In the Rain'''
** Izuku found Kota passed out in a rainy park [[TheRunaway by himself]]. From the child's inner monologue, it seems that the Water Horse Duo's passing was recent.

* '''It Hides The Tears'''
** Izuku explains how Quirks are unfairly treated within today's social structure to Kota.
--->'''Izuku:''' The world has a very limited view of what quirks are ok, and what quirks are not. And if you fall into the second category, then the world will hurt and shun you.

--->'''Izuku:''' Heroes exist to protect people from villains. Without heroes, those people would be free to hurt people all they want. They'd kill a lot more people. And no one could stop them.\\

--->'''Kota:''' Because...because I don't hate them! I don't hate them! I was wrong! I miss them! I don't want to forget! I want them back! *''Starts crying''* I-I want them back!

* '''Mistakes of the Past'''

* '''Adopt One Get One Free'''
** Shiruku was raised in O.P.C.C.C's ExtranormalPrison since birth by uncaring agents, only knowing about the outside world and social interactions through works of media like movies and TV Series.

* '''Into The Woods'''

* '''Shorts 5'''

* '''Hang Out'''
** Ochako asked if Izuku feel cheated that All Might did not choose him for receiving One For All, causing the green teen to cry and admit that at times, he imagined [[FondMemoriesThatCouldHaveBeen what would his life be as All Might's successor]], but he's used to imagining what would his life be with a Quirk. And now, he has a [[AdoptivePeerParent responsibility]]. Not to mention he doubt he can score high in the entrance exam with One For All compared to her, who has her own Quirk in case One For All can't be used.
--->'''Izuku:''' But I wasn't lying when I said I didn't feel cheated (...) I never felt like I deserved it in the first place.

** Fukunoko's backstory is elaborated further here. After realizing that he will have a daughter instead of a son, her father raised her to be someone he can set an ArrangedMarriage to rich people, including forcing her to [[StayInTheKitchen learn cooking, cleaning, and sewing]], and when she fails, he beat her up. He even tied her up to a chair to learn how to sit still. And when she gains her Quirk, he sees his grand plan failed, calling his daughter "unmarriable!" and "A complete failure!" before locking her in her room until D.O.C comes and rescues her. It's no wonder she's a NervousWreck.

* '''Shorts 8'''
** Izuku is starting to accumulate stress. When Namae calls him that D.O.C will send him 5 more kids instead of the agreed number of 3 and snobbishly explains why he just [[SuddenlyShouting yells "NO!"]] at her. The incident was immediately [[TheEmpath noticed]] by Yami, but Izuku insists that he is okay now. When Yami presses on because he can see through Izuku's lies, the teen snaps at him as well. While he did [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone regret yelling at both of them]] and he agrees with Namae that he needs to seek professional help, his job as OPC caretaker comes first.
--->'''Izuku:''' ''I can't keep going like this. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness I've started yelling at the kids]]! I need to hire help!''\\
* ''Izuku receives an email about the soon-to-be-arrived OPC''*\\
'''Izuku:''' ''I'll look at the workers...after this''

* '''Three? Make it Four!'''
** Izuku cannot hide his tiredness from overwork from [[{{Telepathy}} Yonda]], and the teen, being a BadLiar, unable to convince her that he is fine.

[[folder: VS !-A Arc]]

* '''Roaring Revenge'''
** Ever since Bakugo was under thin ice and people in U.A. knows about his record of being a bully, he's been [[AllTheOtherReindeer isolated by his classmates with no one talking to him]]. Kirishima wants to befriend him, but the explosive teen's record makes him keep second-guessing himself.

* '''2 V 4'''
** Izuku is disappointed that, while Mina and Hagakure are fans of Kiba, they are too new to recognize Fu, for he was hoping that someone would, and not be terrified by his [[TechnicallyLivingZombie Quirk]].
---> He (Izuku) had hoped that at least one person would have seen Fu's quirk. Because he was well aware of how...grotesque Fu's quirk could be, and it tended to make things...complicated.\\

* '''Queen Of Eternal Darkness'''
** Izuku having a HumiliationConga that his negatives revealed to class 1-A.

*** Izuku explains that, if Kai's exercise scenario were a real situation, the villain will be savvy enough to hide his parents and themselves better, meaning by the time heroes found the parents/villain, the casualty would reach thousands, and even if he regains his parents, the damages he causes alone would scar [[GentleGiant his]] mind and the society will alienate him for good, regardless if he apologizes or not.

* '''Acid April'''

* '''An Overdue Talk'''

* '''Red and Green'''

[[folder: Q&A]]
* Since people keep asking it, Izuku eventually relents and tells the children that the audience wants to hear about their life before being in The Foundation, and the children are variably upset about it.
--> '''"Why do I have the feeling they have a range of backstories that go from Bad to Worse"'''\\

** Eventually, the viewers learn some of the children's DarkAndTroubledPast. And they are justifiably horrified and enraged.
-->'''"Oh, this is taking a dark turn"'''\\

** One audience asked why heroes did nothing.
-->'''"Why didn't the heroes help?"'''\\

* Yonda's backstory. She was only given basic necessities, and her drunkard mother blamed her for revealing her dad's affair, overwhelming her with negative thoughts before she was sent to D.O.C. Even then, D.O.C's agents are a balanced bunch of ChildHater and BeleagueredBureaucrat, eventually giving her cynicism from overexposure to their thoughts.

[[folder: Shorts 12 - What is Ok?]]
* Nara was not allowed to use her [[ImprobablyHighIQ Grey Matter]] form because she was told it would be "unfair to the other kids", and her previous teachers would threaten her with detention if she does so.
* Izuku lectures Nara on how the world is unfair when it comes to Quirks and talents, and since she has an advantage in Quirk, she must utilize it.
** Izuku is shocked that Nara knows what Quirkless is, considering how young she is. She admits she learned it for her homework. When she is about to ask more about how Quirkless are treated, Izuku dodges her question, but the way he [[YouDoNotWantToKnow dodges it]] is a good enough hint for the horrified Nara.
* Nara is observant enough that Izuku's ChronicHeroSyndrome, SelfDeprecation, and declining health are signs of an oncoming disaster.
--> She (Nara) questioned his (Izuku's) decision to not hire more employees and was worried about the effect that was having on his health. Effects that he was passionately denying, despite them being clear as day.\\

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Fall]]
* Izuku is drowned in paperwork on daily basis to ensure the Foundation is well-funded through various means, because some of his money sources have dried up, and he needs to prepare in case the government stops funding him because there are no other jobs in the world that can sustain the Foundation WHILE still having time for the kids.
-->In summary, Izuku NEEDS to be rich at all times for this (Midoriya Foundation) to work.
* The Uraraka construction company was embarrassed that they tend to be out of their league whenever they worked at Midoriya Mansion. Since they are a small company, they sometimes lacked supplies, which Izuku then purchases himself (which means even more paperwork). They have since sworn to reorganize the company to ensure this won't happen again.
* Izuku finds that one of the kids has requested a maid in the suggestion box. With the sentence "You need help, Dad" written underneath it. This triggers Izuku's SelfDeprecation so hard that he has major BelatedInjuryRealization from his cumulative tiredness and exhaustion.
--> Children should not spend their time worrying about the health of their parents. They should be free to play and do as they wish, learning about the wonders of the world around them until they grow up to be well-adjusted adults and live happy lives.\\

** His last thought before succumbing to HeroicRROD?
-->''I failed.''
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Panic]]
* As soon as she saw Izuku unconscious on the desk, Kiba immediately grab him and lay him on the floor, dropping her {{Chuunibyou}} act and repeatedly [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious crying out "Daddy"]] while gently shaking him, trying to wake him up.
** Kiba saw blood pooling out from Izuku's mouth, nauseated by it for once.
--> Never has the sight of blood looked so unappealing to her (Kiba).
* Most of the other kids are either too stunned to say anything or start crying when they see the unconscious Izuku with BloodFromTheMouth spilling out, with Fu being the only one that is cool-headed enough to take charge.
* Fukunoko was panicking when her breakfast hasn't arrived yet. She paranoidly thinks that they left her to starve to death when she heard Kei from the outside asking if she and Eri can come in, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness sounding surprisingly somber]]. When Fukunoko opens her door, she sees Kei with StepfordSmiler and her [[ExpressiveHair snake hair is slumped and sad]], while Eri has bloodshot eyes with tear tracks on her cheek and MessyHair. And when they try to explain what's going on, the two are so stuttered to talk but try anyway. The two cries again as Fuku hugs them.
* Kai is just waking up and about to head to the mansion when Fu walks towards him. The Kaiju boy asked if Kilba will stream today, only for Fu to tell him that she will not stream for a while because Izuku is hospitalized. This causes Kai to go OcularGushers, asking Fu [[ThisCannotBe how could this happen to Izuku]].
* Fu, Otoko, Ken, and Nara are starting a meeting to assess the situation. Fu summarizes that [[EverybodyCries everyone besides the meeting attendees is freaking out and crying]], [[NotSoStoic even the normally stoic Yami]].
* Izuku [[CrazyPrepared has made a note in case he would be too sick to maintain the Mansion]]. It includes a long apology letter containing "[[SelfDeprecation mostly just him apologizing and putting himself down]]".
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Reactions]]
* Inko felt like she has failed her son when she learns that Izuku was hospitalized and she is on the other side of the world running her company.
* Kota is having ThousandYardStare when Mandalay explains that Izuku is hospitalized and he appointed Wild Wild Pussycats in his letter to temporarily take care of the kids. His aunt wanted to assure him that everything is going to be okay, that Izuku will recover, but she knows it won't work with her orphan nephew.
-->Mandalay's eyes never left Kota. She felt like she should reassure him somehow. Say that Izuku was going to be ok.\\

* Ochako rants about how she sees this coming due to Izuku being too stubborn to hire employees and hyperventilating after hearing the bad news on the phone to the point the other girls try to make her sit down and calm her down.
* Nezu is surprised how Izuku's {{Determinator}} pushes his body longer than anticipated, but that means the [[HeroicRROD strain on his body]] is worse than expected as well.
* All-Might blames himself because he believes that Izuku's TripleShifter was inspired by his own, since the teen now [[BloodFromTheMouth coughing out blood]] [[{{CallBack}} as often as himself]].
-->'''All-Might:''' It's just...is this my fault?\\

'''All-Might:''' Young Midoriya overworking himself. I feel like...as his role model, I may have inspired that behavior...

-->'''Principal Nezu:''' It's probably a good thing you didn't, After all, your words wouldn't have mattered much if you still went around being a massive hypocrite. You know better than anyone, actions speak louder than words.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Picking Them Up]]
* Yami realizes, from his trip to U.A. and from feeling the emotions of Izuku and the other kids as the the teen falls unconscious, why he is an OPC and why D.O.C fears him: His Quirk is not fueled by negative energy in general, but [[PoweredByAForsakenChild suffering specifically]]. And this [[{{Understatement}} bothers]] him.
-->'''Yami:''' Is my Quirk...evil?\\

** He also blames himself for not making enough G.R.I.M.M.s to ease Izuku's workload.
* Fukunoko nervously tries to walk into Kiba's room to tell her that Izuku survives and would recover, only to find [[MessOfWoe Kiba's room practically trashed]] with Kiba herself sitting in front of the tv with messy pajamas and hair, bloodshot eyes with eyebags. She even loses her LargeHam and drops her {{Chuunibyou}} act when Fuku tries to talk to her. Fukunoko didn't like how much Kiba resembles [[NervousWreck herself]] right now as she asked if her [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious daddy]] is all right.
--> Kiba was begging. Fuku would now. She had spent so much of her life begging. Begging for love from her parents. Begging for the pain to stop. Begging to be good. Begging for someone, anyone to save her.\\

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Call To Action]]
* After months of not seeing each other, Izuku and Inko finally see each other in his hospital room. They spend the day crying with each other.
* Izuku was surprised that Ochako visits him with All-Might, Nezu, Mandalay, and Namae in tow. Why? To hammer down into his head that [[TripleShifter his behavior]] needs to be stopped, for his sake and the kids.
-->'''Nezu:''' Midoriya, this is an intervention.\\

'''All-Might:''' Young Midoriya, [[HypocrisyNod I understand that maybe I'm not the best person to be saying this]], but it needs to be said. You can't do everything alone. Everyone needs a support system.\\

** Hearing his loved ones (besides his adopted children) asking him to stop doing everything by himself triggers some auditory flashbacks about his former bullies calling him "useless" because he believed that he had failed.
* After listening to Aizawa's reason why class 1-A, a bunch of Heroes-in-training, should assist the Midoriya Foundation in taking care of the [=OPCs=] besides both sides are familiar with and trusts each other (which is to [[RevisitingTheRoots imprint their mind about why Pro Heroes are important, Who they're working to protect, and why]]), Todoroki started to wonder if Endeavor becomes who he is today because he's too focused on his goal to remember what it truly means to be a hero.
* Most of the 1A students are horrified by the idea of shooting a (tranquilizer) gun at a child, but Aizawa reiterates that Eri's Quirk can accidentally kill people instantly, especially when it goes out of her control. This sobers up a lot of the students who were initially excited by the [[HeroismIncentive monetary rewards]].
* Shoji sympathizes with Otoko due to how their Quirks mutate them into frightening visages, and that if he did not want to become a Pro Hero, then his Quirk is nothing but a burden for his daily life.

[[folder: The Return]]
* Izuku is coming home in a wheelchair as his mother pushes him.
* While he is proud that [[{{Hikkikomori}} Fukunoko]] started going out of her room and helping around the mansion, Izuku is upset that [[GodzillaThreshold she has to because he fell sick]].
* Izuku notices how much Kiba has changed in his absence, becoming quieter, less well-groomed and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness completely ditching]] her [[{{Chuunibyou}} Queen of Eternal Darkness]] act.
* Izuku saw Kota glaring at him, left out of the GroupHug, and presumably angry about how the teen almost followed rhe footsteps of the orphaned boy's parents'.
[[/folder]]

* Fu, Ken & Nara cringes when Mina & Hagakure excitedly asked about Kiba, causing some of the students - Even Dark Shadow - concerned about what happened to her.

* Fu sees Kiba wanting to join Eri and Kei eating breakfast next to Izuku before stopping herself, leaving him unsure what is going through her head.
